How to get thicker, longer lashes in Hong Kong

At Xtreme Lashes, extensions (HK$1,380 for a two-hour session) of your preferred thickness, curva­ture, length and colour are applied on top of your natural lashes one by one. Choose from styles such as the Daisy, in which finer lashes are used to create a natural look, or the Rose, which creates long voluminous lashes to dramatic effect. The extensions last for about a month. Be warned: chemicals may cause irritation during the application process. Xtreme Lashes is at 3/F, V Plus, 68 Wellington Street, Central.

Helena Rubinstein’s Lash Queen Wonder Blacks (HK$330) is rich in pro-keratin and Ceramide R, which help strengthen and repair damaged lashes. The helical brush makes lashes appear longer and more voluminous.
